Ionic liquids (ILs) have unique properties applicable to a variety of industrial processes. What if we could turn what is now a bane to the bioenergy industry into a boon? With respect to overall sugar yield, experimental evaluation of these compounds showed that they perform comparably to traditional ILs in biomass pretreatment.
